Wharton Hedge Fund Network: Trading Simulation

Affinity Group
WHFN Organizing Committee

What is the Wharton Hedge Fund Network?
The Wharton Hedge Fund Network (WHFN) was founded in 2005 as an Affinity Group of the Wharton Club of New York (WCNY). The group aims to bring together Wharton alumni active in the greater hedge fund community, which includes professionals working at hedge funds, hedge fund allocators, lawyers, accountants, prime brokers and other service providers active in the hedge fund space.

Events are by invitation only and limited to Wharton undergraduates and/or Wharton MBA's who are employed in the hedge fund space.

What is the Next Event?
The 1st event in our 3rd year allows members to participate in a trading game on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Members will take the role of floor broker to execute trades on the floor of the exchange in much the same fashion as during the trading day, interacting with other traders in each crowd and the specialists manning the trading posts. With different brokers executing buy or sell orders with different limits, it should make for a lively trading session!

The event will be held Monday, February 5, 2007 at the New York Stock Exchange. We will not be able to permit walk-ins, replacements or guests.

$50 for WHFN members,
$20 for WHFN members that have a paid WCNY membership,
Note: 12-months WCNY membership is only $95 at Join/Renew Membership. .
